Greely is country living within city reach: large lots, custom homes and fast-growing subdivisions like The Ridge and Greely Village. The Anderson Road and Parkway Road area keeps changing, but one thing doesn't — most properties still run on well and septic, with no municipal sewers. That directly shapes our work: adding a basement bathroom or relocating plumbing almost always means sawing a trench through the slab. We know these builds well, from the newest construction to the area's renovated farmhouses.

Our services in Greely

Window & door openings — enlarge a basement window for an egress-compliant bedroom, or cut a patio door into the foundation wall
Concrete coring — precise holes for heat pumps, HRVs, dryer vents or plumbing
Slab sawing — cuts in the basement slab to move a drain or add a bathroom
Garage opening widening — converting a single door to a double
Window well cut-outs — foundation cuts prepped for well installation

On Greely's large lots, access is rarely an issue — we can bring in heavy equipment without fencing the jobsite off to the millimetre. Indoors is another story: many local homes have thick slabs with rebar mesh, and plumbing cuts need to be straight and clean so your plumber can lay pipe without rework.

Slab trench for plumbing

Adding a basement bathroom, moving the laundry room or roughing in a shower downstairs? On well and septic, it all starts at the slab: we lay out the run with your plumber, saw two parallel cuts to full depth and lift out the strip of concrete. The trench is ready for pipe the same day. We wet-saw to keep your basement clean, and we can open several trenches on a single job. Send us your basement plan or a few photos — we'll price it within 24h.
